Osheaga 2019 Podcast – Friday Part 2

The Osheaga Arts & Music Festival is absolutely one of the biggest events of the summer in a city that is defined by having a million big events in the summer. And this year, it’s going to be even bigger. The last two editions of Osheaga took place on a temporary site that made the best of re-purposed sections of the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve but 2019 will mark the return of the festival to the original site. By original site I of course mean a newly renovated site that boasts a capacity somewhere over 65,000 people.

So to celebrate Osheaga being even bigger than ever we are making our 9to5.cc podcast specials even bigger than ever. How much bigger? Twice as bigger. That’s right, instead of one episode a day, Sarah and I will be breaking down our picks for each day across two episodes. When are we starting? Right now.

Our second episode is dedicated to  some of our favorite picks with more of a electronic or hip-hop slant. Expect a new episode around the 15th and 30th of each month all summer long right up until the festival.

Enjoy the show!

Episode 1 (Friday Part 1) is here.

9ES166: Hockey Season Already Then

This one makes me think of Justice for some reason.  Maybe with a hint of Battlestar Galactaca.  Like a French new wave synth sci fi epic.  The original one, though.  Where the future looks an awful lot like the 70s.

Years ago I noticed a button that said “album cover” in our .mp3 compressing software and I thought to myself, hey, if we get ole Scotto to format the file right maybe people will get his art delivered to them on their iPhones.  Tragically, this has never actually worked.  I do fill that box in though, so somewhere in the tubes there’s the unique podcast cover page.  Invisible to you.  Visible to the AlphaBet.

Really though, it’s out there hundreds of times.  Possibly thousands.  I mean, just getting these letters typed on the screen the actual data has been copied into 6 or 7 separate physical locations just on my PC.  Getting this text then into the cloud will take a dozen separate machines each with its own network card/network cache/ram/cache/register/hd ritual of processing before the data has been manipulated and passed on to the next spot in the chain.  Then it’s in the cloud.  It’s be copied over and over into who knows how many boxes out there.  Again, remember, each time there are multiple separate physical locations with a new logical arrangement.

If I was the sort of person for whom the notion of cosmic mantra held any weight, this all might concern me.  I mean, I’m about to do it, holy shit, here we go:

Hastur

If you’re reading this, it’s happened already.  I typed the word, it was copied 6 times to get onto my screen and another 60 to get to the cloud, and then 600 more to all the people who download this text.  Him Who Is Not To Be Named has just been.

Anyway, AlphaBet is getting that cosmic ripple injection but of Scott’s episode covers that nobody else ever sees.  Probably will have somewhat less influence than technocthulic ritual mind you.

What Scott and his fancy art might not know is that I was a Sega Master System kid.  The SMS launched in 85, compared to 83 for the NES (both those dates are the Japanese dates) and maybe it should have been more powerful?  Maybe it was?  Sadly the games were just never as good as the NES’s.

There were a few titles that really shone, like Wonder Boy 3:  The Dragon’s Trap (recently remade!) and Phantasy Star and maybe one of the Alex Kidds.  But the SMS’s library never even came close to the size or quality of the NES’s library.  The 16 bit generation (Genesis and Super Nintendo) only made the disparity worse.  People may think that the console wars are hot today (xBONE ONE X lol amirite?) in a way that they were not 30 years ago but they are totally wrong.

“Sega Genesis does what Nintendon’t” and other classics (probably comparing controllers to genitals) were front and center.  “John Romero will make you his bitch” actual advertising.  Ok, I guess?  Anyway, identifying as a Sega kid guaranteed you an appreciation for the underdog, because you could fanboy all you wanted but Sega’s offerings were undoubtedly inferior.

Did all of this set young Jon on a path?  I can recall at 12 in the schoolyard moodily exclaiming “the Sega ads are better, but the games are worse” breathlessly trying to explain to the other children.  The TV is lying to us.  Were their worlds as devastated as mine was?  I was an innocent child.

The SMS make me cynical.

Hello again dear listener!  Here we reflect on what has come and gone, and somehow we attempt to amuse by reflecting really upon what are reflections already.  Will we escape this self-referential labyrinth?  Can anyone?

Go Plug Yourself 109: “Genesis” Johnny North and Dave Simon

by on June 16, 2016 at 8:15 am
Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting

We talk a little bit in this episode about the fact that we’ve got a mini-episode with none other than Jake the Snake Roberts ready to go, but Walter and I have decided hang on to that one for a little bit to not fully overload our regular listeners with our wrestling obsessions. However, this episode is basically just about wrestling.

Indie wrestler Genesis Johnny North and Dave Simon from Wrestling Uncensored (and Dave also hosts Ringside Report) on late night TSN 690 join Walter and I to talk a little about what got them into wrestling, the current state of WWE, and Sunday’s upcoming PPV “Money in the Bank.” Johnny shares some stories of backyard wrestling and getting what was probably the first package pile driver by Kevin Owens (Steen at the time) a long, long time ago.gpys109-genesisanddave

9ES107: Putting Our Best Feet Forward

We’re back with another episode hot off our brains and into yours.  Normally my teeth itch when we start a podcast with uninteresting content or site business or whatever, but for some reason I was salty about getting rained on on the walk to 9to5’s Montreal studio two for the recording and I just had to whine about it.  Sorry folks.  In other news, we very nearly troll Scott out of being able to talk about his stuff this week.  We can always try again next week.

Enjoy!
